That's a bit irritating, really. It means that userspace needs to bedifferent for NUMA kernels (or more different, which is still bad). Bootinto a non-NUMA kernel and whoops, no tmpfs and quite possibly no boot.

But last time I whined about this Albert had a list of fairlyreasonable-sounding reasons why filesystems shouldn't silently acceptnot-understood options.

But in this case, we _do_ understand them. We're just not going to doanything about them.

I just wonder if we're being as friendly as we possibly can be to adminsand distro-makers.
